Berry Contrary

Berry, berry
Quite contrary
How do you grow? 

Berry, berry
Quite contrary
Many would like to know

Down in Georgia,  way down
Two trees stood on the ground

One weighed down with sticks,  bottles, and all sorts of stuff
The other stood alone, beautiful and virtually untouched

Two worlds and just one ground
One full and the other barren, with a few lying around

Mulberry and Chinaberry
One sweet and the other quite contrary
